Quotes from the Masters and Teachers

[A human Being]

'The sincere call from reality to reality, the sincere call to awaken, comes from a very deep place within us; it comes from a place that wants the truth more than it wants to feel good. If our orientation is to simply feel better in each moment, then we'll continue to delude ourselves, because trying to feel better in the moment is exactly how we delude ourselves.' - Adyashanti

[mArIya]

"Whatever you fight, you strengthen, and whatever you resist, persists"

~Eckhart Tolle ~

[Clover]

"I constantly tell people that enlightenment is no guarantee that your life is going to go the way you planned. Life will be much better than it was, but that doesn't mean it's going to go the way you want it to."
-Adyashanti

" To be less than truthful with the people and situations in your life is to withhold the expression of who you are. In the end, we must come to see that truth itself is the highest good, that truth itself is the greatest expression and manifestation of love. Ultimately, love and truth are identical; they are like two sides of a coin. You can't have truth without love, and you can't have love without truth.""
— Adyashanti

[Clover]

If you think that people should be nice to one another, then by
all means be nice. But when you project that belief onto the
people and the world around you as if it were an objective reality,
or worse still, as if it were their job to be nice to you, you put
yourself at odds with what is, and suffering will surely follow.

― Adyashanti

[Khalli]

“Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.” - Plato

[Miss Hepburn]

Everyone automatically attracts to himself just what he is, and
we may set it down that wherever we are, however intolerable
the situation may be, we are just where we belong.

-Ernest Holmes, The Science of Mind, 1926

Thanks for the links, mArIya, Steve Maraboli isn't someone with whom I'm familiar but I find a lot of truth in what he says Lots of great quotes there, I particularly liked these two:

'I find the best way to love someone is not to change them, but instead, help them reveal the greatest version of themselves.'

'People tend to be generous when sharing their nonsense, fear, and ignorance. And while they seem quite eager to feed you their negativity, please remember that sometimes the diet we need to be on is a spiritual and emotional one. Be cautious with what you feed your mind and soul. Fuel yourself with positivity and let that fuel propel you into positive action.'

'The spiritual path doesn't take you away from pain and discomfort - it takes you straight through it.' - Jim Tolles

"Let me fall if I must fall. The one I will become will catch me."
- Baal Shem Tov
